Dream job: I would love to be a vet, but the sick/injured animals make
me so sad. Is there a vet for only
healthy, happy animals? I want that job. What?
What’s that? And it pays
well? Brilliant!

What are you working on now? There are two
projects. First, I am trying to finish
quilting my Community Quilt. This
project is nearly 1 year in the making, not because it was difficult to get the
gazillion different fabric scraps or to piece 2,000+ pieces, but because I have
been struggling with quilting it. I’m finally on a good path, so I’ll stick to
it. Second, I am working on a quilt top
called Stargazing with my international stitching bee Sew and Bee Happy. I am THRILLED with how this is coming along.

Favorites

Place: Laying on my couch on a lazy weekend day (under quilts) with B
and Clarkson. Or my sewing room. Or
getting my hair washed/head rubbed at the hairdresser’s. Oh! Or
scuba diving in the Red Sea. I could go
on and on…

Movie: Fight Club. Hands down.

Food: Anything made by someone else?
That’s not really true. I’m a
simple gal and love a burger (with cheese, no bun), fries and a beer. Heaven.

Way to spend a Friday night: At home with good food, a glass of white wine
and a movie.

Fabric line: Don’t have a historical or consistent favorite. It seems a
new line that I MUST have becomes available weekly.

Designer: I don’t have one
really. Lately I’ve been into Echino and
Riley Blake, but that may change in 2 days time.

Project completed by you: I have high hopes for my Stargazing quilt. I
think that might be my favorite finish of all time…once it’s finished.

As for those that I have actually finished, I am quite pleased with Mod
Logs. I love how crisp, light and fresh it is with the white, yellows, oranges
and reds. It’s just cheerful.

Project when you need a quick finish:
Recently I’ve been all about the quick finish. Table runners, zippy pouches, notebook
covers. I think the later two are my
favorite right now just because they’re new to me. They keep me interested for a few hours and
there’s an immediate reward.

Least
Favorites:

Color: Brown. Anything marbled or
muddy really.

Fabric line: I’m just baffled by fabrics that are entirely filled with
cats that look like they were painted on with water colors. Who thinks of this stuff?

Project completed by you: Easy choice here! It was based on a pattern called Natasha’s
Fans by Quilter’s Home Magazine. I still
think this pattern is interesting and it was well written, but it was just
beyond my skill level when I tried it.
I “doubled” the pattern to make a much larger quilt, used fabrics that
didn’t allow the eye to rest at all AND had no idea how to handle a 60 degree
triangle using a straight ruler. Anyway,
it went belly up pretty quickly. Still,
it’s nice and warm, so we use it under other duvets (so you can’t see it!) to
keep toasty in the winter.
